I agree with Fox hunting, but only when the animal concerned is a huge, cable network that peddles racist coverage as news.
So I was particularly glad to don my hunting gear and support hip-hop star Nas who has joined a throng of over 620,000 people petitioning the Rupert Murdoch owned Fox Network over its coverage [...]

1 Comment »Every few years the issue of homosexuality and Jamaica’s attitude towards it is brought under scrutiny by international gay rights groups.
They are always incensed that this ungodly act is still illegal in the little island paradise, so they try their best to get Jamaican politicians to bend over backwards to repeal its sodomy laws. All [...]

No Comments »It gets crazy when paranoia becomes a regular state of mind in your life. You start to see invisible things and the things you thought you saw suddenly disappears!
You question people’s motives and motivation. If you get confirmation that someone acted in any way ’sneaky’ or ‘malicious’ you immediately put them in the “can’t trust [...]

No Comments »There can be no doubt that dark skinned people, Blacks, of African descent were enslaved by white people under inhumane situation and exploited commercially and otherwise.
It feels weird that I should somehow restate this somewhat irrefutable, historical fact. I do so only because we tend to have forgotten and those benefitting from this are happy [...]

No Comments »Have you ever been the victim of injustice? It doesn’t have to be anything major; it could be as simple as someone accusing you of doing something that you really didn’t do. Have you? Well, I have!
